iNaturalist Workshop

Our 53-acre nature sanctuary is home to the Blue Hole, the source spring of the San Antonio River. We are a nonprofit Earth care ministry of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. Headwaters at Incarnate Word is restoring our urban landscape through the removal of invasive plants and propagation of native species in an effort to increase biodiversity and benefit local wildlife. We offer educational programs for adults and children that focus on nature, local history, and conservation of our shared natural and cultural resources. Finally, we provide a sanctuary where people are encouraged to reflect and find meaning in their connection with the Earth, themselves, and each other.

Headwaters at Incarnate Word

Join us for an iNaturalist workshop! Become a citizen scientist. <A HREF="https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/what+is+it" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">iNaturalist</A> is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature. It's also a crowd-sourced species identification system and an organism occurrence recording tool. You can use it to record your own observations, get help with identifications, collaborate with others to collect this kind of information for a common purpose, or access the observational data collected by iNaturalist users.
Participants will walk through what iNaturalist is, how to use it in the <A HREF="https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/wildlife_diversity/texas_nature_trackers/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Texas Nature Trackers</A> program, and how to use both the website and phone apps. The classroom portion will be followed up with a BioBlitz where we will practice using the app in the Headwaters Sanctuary, collecting and sharing data with the iNaturalist network. Three CEU credits are earned. This event is limited to 35 . Register NOW!
This workshop is presented by Dr. Tania Homayoun. Dr. Homayoun is an urban conservation biologist who is dedicated to developing and implementing conservation solutions that create biodiverse, resilient, and healthy cities and suburbs for the human and natural communities that share them. Whether working on a planning project or an outreach program, she is passionate about connecting urban residents with nature, in particular birds and native plants. Unsurprisingly, she is an avid birder and always seems to find room in her garden for one more plant.
